June Campouts

We got to go camping two times in June.

The first was at Hyatt Lake with some of our friends and their friends. It was a camp ground that we've never been too before, but it ended up being really nice. Our site was right on the lake, so the kids could play in the water and go in the boat. One of the families there had a little boy that was close to Grant's age. They had a blast riding their bikes and "fishing" from the boat. I decided to get a little creative with our camping food this time. We had nachos over the fire and the yummiest marshmallow/chocolate/banana/strawberry cones over the fire (thank you Pinterest). We took a small hike to another lake, and the kids had a blast building a fort. This campout was a little interesting in that Aubrie had just started learning how to walk but couldn't do it very well yet. So she spent most of her time "knee walking", getting completely dirty! It was Father's Day while we were there, so Paul enjoyed being with his kids in the great outdoors!

Our next camping trip was with the Stone family. We went to Look Lake (as usual). Daddy wasn't able to come this time :(. We had to move the trip up a few days since it was supposed to rain, and he wasn't coming until the weekend. Uncle Jordan, Aunt Iggy, Henry, and Hosanna were in Oregon at that time, and came with us...but they ended up getting sick the first night and headed back to the house. (The yucky sickness was slow moving and ended up hitting everyone except my kids and Henry throughout the course of the week.) Grant was in his element, swimming, playing in the sand, building fires, and playing with sticks and stuff. Aubrie...still not completely walking...was dirty again. She doesn't seem to love camping, but I'm sure it will get better once she can get around better.
